<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The concept of wildlife criminology reaches new boundaries in this illuminating new study of exploitation of animals and its social implications.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This illuminating study explores crimes against, and involving, wildlife and the resultant social harms. The authors go well beyond basic conceptions of animal-related crime, such as illicit trade, for a deeper exploration of wildlife criminology, using a novel approach that combines philosophical, legal and criminological perspectives. They shed light on both legal and illegal harms, including blood sports, wildlife as food and abuse in zoos, and consider the potential connections with inter-human crimes. This is a unique treatment of wildlife as victims of crime and a consideration of their rights as sentient beings that sets new horizons for the concept of wildlife criminology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As awareness of the harmful consequences of human activities on the Earth becomes increasingly urgent, Wildlife Criminology offers an original and timely reflection on a complex, and too often overlooked, topic."
